cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee bye! (warning explicit lyrics inside)

it's a shitty day today. went to office half dead cos i was on flu medicine only to be greeted by 2 shitloads of work which was not actually within my job scope. being the only SA around at the moment i had no choice but to clear it. as i was slowly soaking in the quietness of the office, the silence was broken by the humming of a next door neighbour. (lets just call her "the hummer" from now on to protect her identity)

ok, so my peace was disrupted and so i went over to my colleague's place for a chat.( since office hours have not officially started it was legal) our conversation was broken by *ahem* the hummer. she questioned me in front of everyone about whether i finished her work or not in a "you owe me" tone of voice which i so blatantly replied "yes". afterwhich she lan lan-ed walked back to her workstation.

the story continues and our protagonist (if you still don't know who that is, it is me LAH) continues to mind his own business and do his own work when his boss came over to his workstation (heng he wasn't doing anything illegal).

me : "gd morning Sir."
boss : "morning,have you seen the hummer?"
me: "erm, i think she just left her workstation"
boss : "where did she go? "
me "sir i am not sure. i shall check it out for you and get back to you"
boss: "ok do that and tell her to see me in my office.

and so i called the hummer

me: "hello name ah ?"
the hummer: " yes?"
me : "may i know where are you? boss is looking for you"
the hummer : "oh tell him i will be back in 10 mins"
me: "ok he told me to tell you to see him in his office"
the hummer : "ok"

and so i called my boss and relayed the message to him.

10 minutes passed.

the phone suddenly rang.

me: "hello ?"
boss sounding pissed : "is the hummer back 10 minutes have passed already"
me : hmm..ok sir i shall call her to check again and get back to you"

and so i called the hummer, this time sounding damn kanchong to raise the pressure abit

me: "hello name ah ?"
the hummer: " yes?"
me : "eh are you coming back? boss says 10 minutes have passed and he still sees no sign of you. and he sounds angry"
the hummer : "aiyah tell him i am on my way lah!"
me: "ok lor..byebye"
the hummer : "bye"

and so i relayed the message to my boss

the hummer returned and went to see boss. afterwhich she called me to her workstation for a little talk.
that's it. i knew i was in for some shit whenever that happens.

well to cut things short she scolded me for calling her by name and for saying "eh" cos it sounded really unprofessional and rude and said that my phone ethics spoke of my personality blah blah and although it only appeared that she was scolding me, i wasn't surprised that the whole office heard our conversation. well done man. she just made my shit list.

anyway people who know me would know that i would only call people by their name and say "eh" ,"hey", "yo", "dude" , if i personally know them or know that the other party does not mind. as for the hummer, being my neighbour it is inevitable that i would definetly talk to her casually in office and i SWEAR i ahve called her by name on many occassions without her taking offence (cos if she did she would have already told me earlier). as for the "eh" part i guess she was just too professional for me. so professional that she had to leave office w/o letting anyu of us know to be accountable for her.

and so kids, this is a damn good example of "it doesn't pay to be kind"
i helped her to clear her shit work (she didn't even say please. she expected me to do it)
i called her to tell her that my boss is looking for her (i could have just heck cared and continued doing my own things)
i called her a second time to prepare her for the shit that's awaiting her
and i was her goddamn punching bag, letting her spam me with that fucking pep talk.

whatever.
i don't owe anyone a living.
and like any other ns boy i am going to use all this to train my tolerance for shit and become numb towards the daily office politics, backstabbings and spam sessions.

i foresee dark days ahead. and i'll enjoy it.

time to go for michael's party. he's celebrating it today. =p
